0084 Turning on the wisdom of the people

The protagonist, who knocks out the front teeth of the sailor with the "empty man", is soon tied up in front of Lorraine by the five flowers.

He is a handsome yellow man, with black hair, brown eyes, and a figure of only one meter and early seventies, but his limbs are well-proportioned and his ten fingers are slender.

He wore a blue and white striped undershirt and loose black cotton trousers, the belt was a bright and tasteless red, and the turban was the most tasteful red.

Lorraine was a little unsure of what nationality he was.

According to the calculation of time, the current Qing Dynasty is closing the country, and the trend of staying abroad in later generations is far from flourishing.

What's more, his hair was only shoulder-length, and it was loosely tied under the turban, looking lazy and thick, neither shaved nor tied into the shape of a money rat with the symbol of the Qing people.

His French is also very good, although he speaks English awkwardly, but the pronunciation of the words is more like a Parisian accent, which is not difficult to recognize, and has nothing to do with foreign words.

Could it be ...... An expatriate from the East Indies Colonies?

Lorraine had a cold face: "Name." ”

"Wang Ye."

"Gender."

Wang also rolled his eyes helplessly: "Mr. Captain, do you think I look like a woman?" ”

A rebellious fellow soul......

Lorraine shrugged and said to the sailors: "Throw it in the sea, don't waste the dinghy." ”

The sailors rushed up.

The king was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he pulled his neck and shouted, "Man! Man! I'm a man! If you don't believe it, you can take off your pants! ”

"It's nice to be like this earlier." Lorraine sighed, and then turned to her concern, "Nationality, sir." ”

"Qingguo." "The mysterious oriental country, in the easternmost part of the Asian continent, has porcelain, silk, tea, ......"

"And dirty pigtails in the style of a money rat." Lorraine waved his hand to interrupt him, "Mr. Wang, I don't know anything about the Qing Kingdom, you require all men to wear braids, it seems that there is also a national policy, what is it called...... Hair without head? ”

"You can actually speak Chinese?"

"It's not about you." Lorraine chuckled, stood up, and looked at Wang Ye condescendingly, "Mr. Wang, you said that you are from the Qing Kingdom, but you don't have the braid on your head that can best prove your identity, do you say that I should believe you, or don't believe you?" ”

"I've been wandering in Europe for nine years, and in our words, I'm a schoolboy studying abroad......"

Wang also began to tell about his life.

His parents died and he was abandoned in the mountains, and he was adopted by a Taoist priest who practiced and grew up in the Taoist temple until he was ten years old.

When he was ten years old, there was a famine in Jiangxi, and most of the brothers in the temple starved to death, and when their master also starved to death, a group of children left the dilapidated Taoist temple and begged all the way to Guangdong.

It was in 1768, when Zhong Yin, then governor of Guangdong.

A French merchant named Lawrence wanted to open up the trade routes of the Qing Kingdom, so he scanned the rules of the Qing Kingdom from the mouth of his peers, and turned his head to launch a silver bullet offensive against the governor.

He successfully won the favor of Zhong Yin.

It's just that the Qing State strictly controlled trade licenses, and it was obvious that bribery could not be used as a reason for issuing licenses, and Lawrence needed to contribute to the people in order to achieve his goal successfully.

Zhong Yin meant that Lawrence should pick a small town, build bridges and pave roads, accumulate good fortunes, and then be recommended by the squire, and invite the people three times, and he could deliver that meager permit along the river.

The problem is that Lawrence doesn't understand.

The simple French gentleman thought and thought, and finally told Zhong Yin that he was going to sponsor twelve aspiring young people of the Qing Dynasty to study in Paris, study mathematics, art, music and philosophy, and open up the wisdom of the people!

God's special code opens the wisdom of the people!

If he hadn't received too much money from Lawrence, Zhong Yin would have been eager to capture this foreign devil on the spot and send him to Beijing for Ming Zheng.

So, the show begins.

On the pretext of cleaning up the city of Guangdong, Zhong Yin arrested the wandering young beggars on the streets, washed them up, and sent them to the squire's mansion, and then enthusiastically introduced Lawrence to those squires.

Through the mouth of the translator, Lawrence wasted all the money to persuade the squires to hand over the aspiring children of the clan, that is, these carefully packaged little beggars, to fulfill his noble wish to open up the wisdom of the people of the East.

In this way, Wang was sent to a strange Europe, in 1769, when he was 11 years old.

When he first arrived in Europe, Lawrence did his best, not only sending them to a prestigious parochial school in Paris for three years of adaptation, but also enthusiastically assigning them translators to help them through the most difficult language stages.

Three years later, when the schoolchildren met Lawrence again, most of them were already fluent in French.

Lawrence hosted a grand banquet for them, excitedly telling them that they had completed the admission procedures for the University of Paris, and that they would soon be able to enter the university as long as they chose their majors.

The schoolchildren were grateful and excitedly told him that he had been deceived.

Overnight, Wang was swept away, from a link between Eastern and Western civilizations to a Parisian tramp with a peculiar oriental face.

He had no money, no home, and wandered alone on the Champs-Γ‰lysΓ©es when he accidentally saw an admission notice for a chef's school.

Wrap up, wrap up, learn first, pay later.

He passed the interview, studied there for a whole year, owed seventeen pounds to the school, and when he left, he took three pounds worth of food and tools, and fled to Holland as a wanted man, and began to sail about the ships in the hope that one day he would be able to return to his homeland with them......

Tale...... That's about it.

Lorraine looked at Wang Ye, who had a hippie smile, his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not his nose.

"So, the reason why you don't want to get off the boat is ......"

Wang also stretched out his hands: "Dear Mr. Captain, my wanted warrant in France is still valid, if I float back to shore from this position, I will have to go to prison honestly as soon as I go ashore." I have inquired that twenty pounds is enough for them to keep me for twenty years, which is not in line with my life plan. ”

"Then you're going to ......"

"Is there a shortage of cooks on your ship? I am well-versed in all aspects of Eastern and Western cuisine, and I will never disappoint you. ”

"Cook?"

"Yes, you can try my hand first. Foie gras, snails, salads, or the English favourite black pudding, English shortbread and omelette, you name it......"

"Buddha jumps over the wall." Lorraine slowly said three big characters in pure Chinese.

"Jump on what?"

"If you can't do it, Dongpo meat, crockpot stuffed chicken, squirrel sea bass, bamboo shoots and dried duck?"

"Uh...... Mr. Captain, you're actually a nobleman of the Eight Banners, aren't you? Is it because of excessive blood loss that the skin looks pale? ”

"Looks like you can't do it."

Lorraine ignored Wang Ye's words, called Pierce over softly, and asked about the ingredients available on the Butterfly Flower.

After a moment, he looked up: "I have butter on my boat, lettuce, and a small amount of onions and garlic. You've got fifteen minutes to make me a garlic lettuce, and if you can, you'd better sharpen another pair of chopsticks. ”

"This is a formal interview?"

"If you like to call it that...... Yes, this is an interview that will decide whether you go or stay. ”

Ten minutes later, Lorraine had the first taste of Chinese stir-fried food in her life, fresh, salty, fragrant, greasy, and crispy, which was completely different from Western cooking.

Wang's skills are nowhere near as good as he claims to be, but at least above the level, and more importantly, he proves that he really knows how to cook Chinese food.

Seem...... That's enough.

Lorraine pushed the plate away, stood up and wiped her mouth gently.

"Chef Mr. Wang Ye, congratulations, you have been admitted." He stretched out his hand to Wang Ye, smiled and said, "Introduce yourself, I am your future captain and employer, my name is Lorraine, Lorraine. Arnason. Drake. ”
